Hi, my name is Hanneke and I am a PhD candidate at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University. I have a background in organizational studies and gained knowledge on the intersection of public administration and natural science during the master Governance of Sustainability. Before I started my PhD research, I worked at the province of Utrecht on a project aimed at restoring the natural quality of the floodplains of the rivers Nederrijn and Lek. For the Reshape project, I’ll be looking into what governance arrangements facilitate effective landscape transformations. In other words, I will be studying how we can move towards more resilient landscapes in Dutch sandy soils and what societal processes are necessary to achieve this. Implementing nature-inspired water systems requires behavioral changes and support. I am interested in how stakeholders perceive a certain area based on their interests and expertise. I always try to gather information from different angles and am therefore eager to learn from and collaborate with local actors, partners, and my fellow researchers.
